14.12 MANIFOLD GAUGESET
The manifold gauge set is a most important tool fortracing faults and system efficiency assessment. The relationship
to each other of HIGH and LOW pressures and their correlation to AMBIENT and EVAPORATOR temperatures must be
compared to determine system status (see Pressure /Temperature graphs in Sub
-Sections 14.14 & 14.15).
Because of the heavy reliance upon this piece of equipmentfor service diagnosis, ensure that the gauges are calibrated
regularly and the equipment is treated
with care.

COLOUR (commonly yellow)
Fig. 1 Manifold gauge set
Manifold.
The manifold is designed to control refrigerant flow. When connected into the system, pressure is registered on both
gauges at all times. During system tests both the high and low side hand valves should be closed (rotate clockwise
to seat the valves). The hand valves isolate the low and the high sides from the centre (service) hose.
0 Low side pressure Gauge.
This compound gauge, is designed to register positive and negative pressure and may be typically calibrated - Full
Scale Deflection, 0 to 10 bar (0 to 150 Ibf / in2) pressure in a clockwise direction; 0 to 1000 mbar (0 to 30 in Hg) FSD
negative pressure in a counter clockwise direction.
High Side Pressure Gauge.
This pressure gauge may betypicallycalibrated from 0 to30 bar (0 to 500 Ibf/in2) FSD in a clockwise direction. Depend-
ing on the manufacturer, this gauge may also be of the compound type.

14.13 SYSTEM CHECKING WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE Sm
14.13.1 Evacuating the Manifold Gauge Set
Attach the centre (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start the pump. Open fully both high anddow valves and allow
the vacuum to remove air and moisture from the manifold set for at least five minutes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isolate it from the centre service hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the vacuum pump is not subjected to a positive pressure of any degree. Therefore
the pump must be frtted with an isolation valve at the centre (service hose) connection and this valve
must be closed before the pump is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used on
previous systems. Observe the manufacturefs recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil
changes.
14.13.2 Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set
CAUTION: Only use hoses with connectors which are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Attachment of the hose quick release connectors to the high and low side system ports is straightfotward, provided
that the high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT operational.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Re- covery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly and observe all safety con- siderations.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
OPERATION OR THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A VACUUM PUMP OR
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP
OR CONTAINER.
14.13.3 Stabilizing the System
Accurate test gauge data will only be attained if the system temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
Ensure that equipment and hoses cannot come into contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended that a free standing air mover is placed in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the con- denser / cooling system, see illustration below.
Start the engine, allow
it to attain normal working temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500 rpm). Select full air conditioning performance.
With all temperatures and pressures stable, or displaying symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.
